A short time ago, I chanced to be thrown into a very kind family, for several days, ten miles away from home.

Ah! we ever love a home among the t rcc. sabbath came, the quiet streets were made more quiet, business doors be ing closed, and there seemed a holy hush pervaded eveiything. The tnn shone bright and pleasant, by and by people from tbe country began to assemble in groups around the church doer, nearly opposite the door of my triond. We were growing impatient for the bell, as wo eat and watched the throng enter the church, it being past the usual hour for service. rns ently a lady and her husband called in upon my host, to whom 1 was pre sented. 1 bey bad learned there would be no sermou, and to we were disap pointed in going to church, as too many often gq uowMitdays, to see and be seen. I found my new acquaintances most agreeable, and their easy, grace ful manners bespoke the culture of refined society. They were Virgin iang, high toned, hospitable Virgin inns, and learning I was from a sister State, the lady luvited mo to accom pany her home, and spend a night Seeing she really desired it, I consent ed. it mattered little, if there was but one horse, for the accotntnoda tion of both ; in this new land many strange modes are adopted, especially in the contury. S placing mo iu the saddle, to which I demurred, yet, I had little hope if I occupied the hindmost seat, of ii-'aiuing that seat dozen a paces, my ludjy f i end sprang on behind my saddle, saving "she would be sure and not perl me off. and that rutty was used to carry carrying double." Her husband then mounted bis boree, and we proccded on onr way across the prarie, with no mad tn guide us. After good deal pf merriment, and some tears on my part, lest I was putting my charm ing companion to ninch inconven ience, and that she might not make the trip in safety, wo arrived at their home, a western homo tilled with plenty, and were greeted by a group of merry children, modest and polite. Soon . the delicacies of the season were brought in. ripe apples, Jticions peaches, and delicious grapes, while my lady busied herself about the ditfjier, aided by her daughter.
